    The proposed religion (in this book) is based on the belief that the legitimate purpose of life is happiness and the best foundation for happiness is self-importance.

    The happiness purpose is to be achieved through the use of thinking and humour and dignity. The ideal of love is to be replaced by the more reliable practice of respect.

    The new religion may be used as a framework or as a philosophy. It may be used as a way of living or a way of looking at things. The new religion may be used on its own or in conjunction with any other religion.

    Unlike some others, the new religion focuses on the positive aspects of man's nature.

    It may of course be that 'religion' is the wrong word.

    The world may need a new religion simply because it intends to find one anyway
